What to do During a Dental Emergency
Knocked-Out Teeth — Store your tooth or broken fragment in a sealed container, completely submerged in contact solution, saline or milk. See our emergency dentist within the next hour. If it’s possible to reinsert your tooth back into the socket, do so gently and hold it in place. While it is safe to lightly rinse off the root, do not scrub it clean as this may prevent a successful reinsertion.
Swelling — Take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication such as ibuprofen. Rinsing with warm salt water can also alleviate symptoms. If swelling spreads into the face, head to the nearest emergency room.
Loose Filling or Crown — Avoid chewing on that side of your mouth to prevent the tooth from breaking. If the restoration lifts off of your tooth (do not force it) store it in a zip-top bag and bring it with you to your next appointment.
